HAL Transfers and Rumours 19/20

Yeah, if that means more O’Doherty back in the middle then bring it on pls.

He’s a squad player for me and is quite average. Offers little going forward or in defence so he should be taking any opportunity to go overseas.

Sullivan will slot in for him.

Exit door at Western United getting some use. Its as if Rudes might be a dick?

LOL at Connor Chapman leaving already. Must only sign 6 month leases.

He may play for them, but I’ve always thought Baccus is pretty decent. Looks like a good level to head to as well.

Pretty obvious now he came home for a short time and look to get back to Korea.

Playing in a Rudan back 3 seems dull, can’t blame him.

Chapman got forced out his last team in Korea and didn’t want to leave

Yes, but Chapman left K League 1 and is going to a club in K League 2. That would be a step down, I would think.

Marco Rojas is a free agent

Chapman hasn’t proven anything to warrant any credible overseas move. Will just become a journeyman till he lands in some NPL club.

Chapman can definitely play. No idea what happened in Korea but I would be fine for him to come to us.

I didn’t even know he was in Denmark, thought was still in Switzerland.

Rojas to Nux makes a lot of sense.

Morally, he owes them, doesn’t he, given the financial support they gave him?

Sortirio gets an extra 2 years. How is there not a better young Kiwi player that deserves a chance? Criminal lack of end product.

I don’t rate him as a technical player at all but he hasn’t exactly been a weak link in this Nix team. Sotirio is very fast and Talay has been using him to stretch defences, giving guys like Davila more space to weave their magic. You can’t say it hasn’t been working. Davila has scored 7 goals and Sotirio has notched more assists this season than every other season combined.

I’m not sure I’d have given him another two years (maybe one?) but its hard not to argue he’s doing a job in their system.

Pace merchants are fine at this level but he has no upside. Find an equally quick 18 year old or 3 and develop him rather than an already developed player who 5 odd coaches havent been able to get anything out of and continues to play like an NPL level player head down, no touch and no spatial awareness. If I’m a Nux fan I’d rather get a young Kiwi lad rather than him.

Disclaimer - everything about Sotirio annoys me so I’m not particularly objective.

McCowatt is that young kid and he’s getting plenty of time.

He has got some time. But Sortiro has started a few times when McCowatt could have. You’ve named the player I was thinking of but had forgotten!!!

McCowatt is a proper player, an absolute lock for Europe once he geta some minutes. Next year he will be a huge player.

You just shitcanned Andrew Redmayne before he moved to us.
